This might be the ugliest game ever made. I can't believe it was touted as a Switch launch title.

It sometimes looks okay-ish on screenshots, but these hyper-detailed sprites having the same frames as the original game is just abysmal. The statue in the background of Sagat's stage still has an ugly white photoshop border!!!
The sound effects suck too, blocking sounds like you're slapping a piece of paper.

The entire game just kind of looks to me like a really ambitious mid-2000s Newgrounds fan remake of SF2.

Yeah, about that... This game reuses the HD sprites from some Super Turbo HD Remix that was released during the 360 era, so even that's not exactly new, lol.

Honestly hand drawn sprites could've worked if it was done like LizardCube did...

Even more annoying that it's not even a remake or whatever, it's just a literal reskin of Super 2 Turbo, but sold at full price.
The gameplay is still excellent, but everything else regarding the presentation is just super combo'd away lol

For the same price I've bought the Collection which contained the original Super 2 Turbo which was much more worth it than just one game with a coat of paint and two clones.

What?!
That makes it even worse!!!

Speaking of Street Fighter I've quite enjoyed the two fan remakes of Street Fighter 1

I wasn't trying to say it was bad. I just find it amusing how many different versions of Street Fighter 2 there are.

Yeah I know, it's fine it's just awesome!

I'll always say 5 since those are the arcade versions.

I'm not counting Crawfish' GBA port as good as it was for its time nor the HD remix/Ultra since those are just remasters.

My Dad performed an epic combo on my mom and completely decimated her, fighting games in real life are the best!

At worst I can show that

And this (before HD Remix and Ultra got released)

Super II Turbo and Super II X are the same game, for some reason it was called X the Grand Master Challenge instead of Turbo in Japan before they've changed the name and in shorts Super without the Turbo was basically a beta version released earlier before Capcom brought back balancing and bugfixes (yeah, before it became commonplace).

Let's just say that Super is basically "Street Fighter II.5" since it ported the game to a newer system and added new characters with prettier backgrounds (like how Alpha and Street Fighter III had improved versions).

I love the GBA version its easy to play

I'm a bit confused by the L and R being used (honestly I dislike having to use shoulder buttons in modern fighting games). I think SFII could've worked well on the DS if they wanted to.

What are some of the best games to hit the Fighting Game genre in your opinion? What makes them so special?

here are some of mine

Street fighter 2 moldou a indústria mais sinceramente todos são ótimos exceto street fighter 1 e a franquia ex

 

[CaptainSkelly]

I'd have to say Yang from Third Strike is a personal favorite. I have some other favorite characters, but I wanna save the spotlight just for Yang. Despite being the "lesser" of the two brothers in terms of character strength in the game, Yang is actually an INCREDIBLY solid pick. He's used really often in tournaments as well. Being a frequent tournament character, its proof that Yang isn't just a "lesser" of the two brothers. Yun with Super 3 (Geneijin) is uh. A character. Certainly a character.

Anyways Yang is sorta underrated imo and I think he's neat both visually, personality-wise, and gameplay-wise. Rekka characters are an endangered species in the modern fighting game landscape!

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Yeah, SF2 on the DS would have ran sweet.

Even Alpha or III could've gotten a homebrew on it (maybe with some animation frames being removed for III for RAM saving).

Speaking of handheld ports I kinda liked the Alpha one on the GBC

I've actually spent a lot of time on the GBC port of Alpha 1. It's shockingly playable and smooth.
